SA DIYOS LAMANG MAPAPANATAG

KoroSa Diyos lamang mapapanatag

ang aking kaluluwa,Sa kanya nagmumula

ang aking pag-asa at kaligtasan.

• O Diyos, ikaw ang aking kaligtasan, nasa sa’yo aking kaluwalhatian;• Ikaw lamang aking inaasahan.

• Ang aking moog at tanggulan. (koro)

KoroSa Diyos lamang mapapanatag

ang aking kaluluwa,Sa kanya nagmumula

ang aking pag-asa at kaligtasan.

Paniniil ‘di ko pananaligan, puso’y ‘di ihihilig sa yaman;

Kundi sa Diyos na makapangyarihan. Na aking lakas at takbuhan. (koro)

KoroSa Diyos lamang mapapanatag

ang aking kaluluwa,Sa kanya nagmumula

ang aking pag-asa at kaligtasan.

Poon ika’y puno ng kabutihan, Pastol kang nagmamahal sa kawan;

Inaakay sa luntiang pastulan, tupa’y hanap mo kung mawaglit man.

(koro)

KoroSa Diyos lamang mapapanatag

ang aking kaluluwa,Sa kanya nagmumula

ang aking pag-asa at kaligtasan.
